SPEAKING INFO
Bring in Ann Kroeker, author of The Contemplative Mom, to speak at your next women's gathering. She inspires and encourages women to pursue richer, deeper relationships with the Lord.
The following topics can be combined or expanded for a weekend experience; hand-picked for a morning event, Bible study, MOPS or moms' group; or used for a one-day retreat.
THE
CONTEMPLATIVE WOMAN
Ann Kroeker provides an overview of the contemplative life, establishing
the reality of God's passionate pursuit of each of us and providing many
avenues to relate to God in a personal and lasting way.
THE
CONTEMPLATIVE MOM
Specifically for moms, Ann has designed this time together to provide
inspiration and hope for moms to experience more in their relationship
with God, even in the midst of motherhood.
FIVE
MINUTES' PEACE:
Solitude and Serenity in a Hectic, Harried World
When women gather to learn about solitude, they probably don't need to
be convinced of its benefits. Most of all, they want ideas on how to carve
it out of their busy lives, and what to do once they are there. Ann covers
it all in this message, even including a modified time of somewhat guided
solitude on site and on-the-spot.
CREATIVE
CREATING
Stumped for how to satisfy your own creative pursuits while busily cleaning
up after your children's creative pursuits? Whether you are a writer,
artist, or love creative pursuits of any kind and long to find time and
ways to work them into life as a mom, this time together will help you
walk away with hope to create again.
WRITE
IN THE MIDDLE OF KIDS
"I'd like to write a book…someday…maybe when the kids
are all grown…" Wistful thinking? It doesn't have to be! Ann
Kroeker encourages hopeful authors-in-the-making, who happen to be surrounded
by kids and kids' activities, with little time to tap at a keyboard and
write the book in their hearts. Writers' conferences and creative teams
can bring in a dose of inspiration from someone who managed to write a
book while surrounded by kids!
